Rumours and leaked Razer Kazuyo images suggest that Razer, the manufacturer well known for making gaming hardware and controllers, is looking to create their very own iPhone controller for Apple smartphones running iOS 7 and higher.
The images of the new Razer Kazuyo iPhone controller reveal its form and design and include a multidirectional arrow pad and four buttons, as well as a pair of shoulder buttons.
Apple’s Move to Support Third-Party Controllers
Earlier this year, Apple opened up the possibility for third-party developers to create iPhone controllers using new features added to their iOS 7 mobile operating system. This move was seen as a significant step towards enhancing the gaming experience on iPhones, which have traditionally been limited to touchscreen controls. By allowing third-party hardware integration, Apple has paved the way for more immersive and precise gaming experiences on their devices.
Competition in the iPhone Controller Market
The new Razer Kazuyo will join the already launched Logitech PowerShell iPhone game controller and the MOGA Ace Power iOS controller, both of which are available to purchase for $99 right now. These controllers have set a benchmark in terms of design and functionality, offering gamers physical buttons and controls that are often missed in touchscreen-only gameplay.
The Logitech PowerShell, for instance, features a D-pad, shoulder buttons, and face buttons, providing a console-like experience. Similarly, the MOGA Ace Power includes an extendable design to fit various iPhone models and offers dual analog sticks, a D-pad, and action buttons. The competition in this market is heating up, and Razer’s entry with the Kazuyo is highly anticipated.
What to Expect from Razer Kazuyo
While the leaked images provide a glimpse into the design of the Razer Kazuyo, there are still many unknowns. For instance, how will it compare in terms of ergonomics and battery life to its competitors? Will it offer any unique features that set it apart? Given Razer’s reputation for high-quality gaming peripherals, expectations are high.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by Razer for their leaked Razer Kazuyo iPhone controller. However, considering the pricing of its competitors, it is likely to be in the same range. As soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always.
